I'm leaving my frustration at harrassing HQ staffers, however. And I'm curious what Cory finds "sadly unsurprising" about an HQ staffer never having been to a competition or never having heard of 254 or 1114.
I assumed he spoke with someone in team support who is familiar with the program. In retrospect that could clearly be a false assumption.

In general I was expressing frustration that there is a huge disconnect between HQ and what the "team experience" is. Obviously we have seen good steps taken to address that by Frank, but then they go and do something like release this without having sought out any team feedback, at which point they (very predictably) get nearly unanimously negative feedback. There surely was a better way to do this.

If it turns out we don't know the whole story (as Dave hinted to earlier in the thread) then it was silly for FIRST to not tell the whole story at the right time, in order to avoid all the outrage in the first place.
